Celebrating 50 Years
2018 marks the 50th anniversary of Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country. The first modern commercial vineyard was planted in 1968 by the late Vincenzo Cilurzo and his wife Audrey. Temecula Valley received formal recognition as an American Viticultural Area in 1984, first as “Temecula AVA” with a subsequent name change to “Temecula Valley AVA” in 2004.
Temecula Valley now boasts over 40 licensed wineries, producing over 500,000 cases annually. The 50th Anniversary will be celebrated throughout the year….we invite you to come and celebrate with us!
